Scientists have long considered ketones (a fundamental chemical class) and esters (molecules formed when an acid reacts with ...

Aromatic ketones have long been valuable intermediates in chemical synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions where different chemical entities are combined to form new compounds.

This innovative approach, published in Chem, opens up new possibilities for utilizing aromatic ketones in various synthetic reactions. Traditionally, aromatic ketones have been underutilized in ...

Scripps Research chemists unlock the potential of ketone and ester molecules, paving the way for greener and more efficient ...

forming two additional ketone (carbonyl) groups. The loss of hydrogen indicates an oxidation reaction (increasing the oxygen to hydrogen ratio) and the molecule will also lose two electrons.

Scientists have long considered ketones (a fundamental chemical class) and esters (molecules formed when an acid reacts with an alcohol) to be locked treasure chests of possibilities. Ubiquitous as ...
